#117 of 120 Re: Update on the saga [helenga] by cdptrap Oct 30, 2006 (11:42 am)
Replying to: helenga (Oct 30, 2006 9:45 am) Very happy to hear it is finally resolved.   I would suggest two important checks. First is the ALL IMPORTANT safety inspection. Second is something that can severely impact your gas mileage.   First, I suggest giving your HH a thorough standard "Safety" inspection. Safety refers to all exterior lights (headlights, blinkers, etc), wipers (front/back and pumps), all interior lights (both modes - auto and manual) and the LED display at the bottom of the Speedometer. Cycle through all the modes of that LED display.   Also inspect the "Test" lights (Brake, Engine, VDIIM, etc) that come on when you first turn ON the car. They should all come on and then go off as usual. If one does not come ON at all, something is wrong.   Move the exterior adjustable side mirrors to make sure they still work.   Turn on A/C and heater to make sure they work, especially the Defrost mode. Try the different vents to make sure air is directed to the right vent. Switch to Interior air to be sure it does recirculate. If you have outside mirror heating defrost, check that too to make sure they still work.   Work the power seat if you have that to make sure all adjustments are still functioning.   Turn on seat warmer if you have that to make sure it works. Check the Lighter plug, the power outlets under front center console and in the trunk to make sure they have power when car is ON.   If you have the NAV, turn on the screen and check the energy flow diagram to make sure it still works as before and the Map shows up when you drive.   After that, check the Stereo system to make sure it still works in all modes. This is important too if you are stuck on the road in Winter and need important weather or road condition info.   If all these are functioning, then your HH is in decent shape. If nothing else, at least you know the "vital" functions are fine and you will not be stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong weather.   Just as Important If they unplugged the 12V battery during installation of the roof, your "Idle Speed" system may need to be reset. Please have a new, more competent, dealership do that for you. If the Idle Speed controller or whatchamacallIt is not reset, the gas engine will run more often and longer than usual resulting in much lower gas mileage.   I hope I did not miss anything . Good luck and Safe Driving!

Replying to: boss21 (Jul 10, 2009 9:17 am) They are still in the box. I haven't had the spare $ to have the installation done.
